Summary: Harry Shearer's brilliant, hilarious weekly commentary on current events. If you don't know Shearer's name, you'll know his voice from other shows such as The Simpsons (Mr. Burns, Ned Flanders and Kent Brockman, among others) and This is Spinal Tap (Derek Smalls). Genius.
Link: This American Life
Summary: Stories that are like movies for radio. There are people in dramatic situations where things happen to them.There are funny moments and emotional moments and – hopefully – moments where the people in the story say interesting, surprising things about it all. It has to be surprising. It has to be fun. There are shows on public radio with no sense of fun or surprise and we hate those shows.
Link: Calling All Pets
